As a travel and outdoor blogger I am approached frequently to become an affiliate, test items or to help promote various items. I am always careful about who I agree to work with as the company’s products have to be something I would use and enjoy along with needing to support their mission. When Decathlon reached out to me asking for me to consider trying their products and willing to send me some samples I quickly agreed to try out some of their samples as I have admired them from afar.
Decathlon’s mission is “ we believe in making sports accessible to everyone, everywhere. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, our innovative gear and expert advice help you push boundaries and embrace adventure.”
When I agreed to try out a sample of their product I figured they were going to send me a shirt to try. When I got a box in the mail I was shocked and excited at what they sent me. With having a planned trip to hike my first two 4,000 Footers in The White Mountains of New Hampshire it was a perfect time to test out the gear I was sent.
The Simond Women’s MT500 Long Sleeve 100% Merino Wool Shirt is such a great shirt for hiking. It is lightweight, comfortable and moisture wicking. It was the perfect shirt for my long hike in the White Mountains. I have also used this shirt for other outdoor activities like snowshoeing and running and it has quickly become one of my favorites for outdoor activities.
The Simond Women’s MT100 Hooded Puffer Jacket has been used for many different activities from long hikes, to snowshoeing and standing on the side lines of my daughters sporting events. This lightweight jacket is comfortable and keeps me warm no matter what activity I am doing. I also light that it easily fit in my pack and was compatible.
The Forclaz Travel 500 Organizer 40 L Backpack I have only used once for a quick overnight. It easily fit everything I needed for a night away. It was comfortable to carry and appears durable. I am looking forward to using the backpack more on our adventures.
Overall, I have really enjoyed the items that Decathlon as sent me. They have been super easy to work with. I even had to make some returns on items that did not fit and it was a seamless process. I will continue to support Decathlon’s products and their mission.
